Martins Draws a Blanco

Just before the break, António Martins (cutoff) and Cristiano Blanco (button) saw a {J-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {K-Spades} flop and Martins string-bet 400; there was a brief pause while the floor was called over. The 400 bet was allowed to stand, though, and Blanco called.

Martins bet again on the {7-Clubs} turn and once more Blanco called. Come the {K-Clubs} river, though, Martins' 1,100 bet was met with a raise to 6,000 from Blanco. Call.

Blanco: {K-Hearts} {J-Clubs} for a full house, putting him back up to 25,000
Martins: {A-?} {K-?} putting him down to 10,500 with a sigh
